Been pretty quiet lately on the blog. Mostly I've been busy with work and life, trying to get things in order and running when I can. Rather than write a huge post in regards to the year, I'm posting some photos to help speed it along.
Final figures for 2012:
277 Runs
498 Hours
50 Minutes
19 Seconds
3156.39 Miles
341,907 Vertical Feet

An unfortunate sickness mellowed my plan for any fun on my birthday, but the year was a great one by any measure. I'm looking forward to lots of fun in 2013. Haven't really nailed down any running plans after March, but I've got a month to get ready for Orcas Island, and then another few weeks to prep for Salida. After that, it's anybody's guess where I'll be, but hopefully I can pull off the Grand Canyon trip with Donnie, and either Bighorn or Cascade Crest. My resolution is to get up Green Mountain (here in Lakewood) 100 times. Started out with one slow ascent today. See ya on the trails this year, bitches!

Good to have you and the family close to us in the hood. I look forward to learning and running with you in 2013.
